Understanding academic culture

When you come to live and study in another country you have to get used to a culture that you may not be familiar with, both in your everyday life and in the university where you are studying. It's quite normal to find things different to your country and sometimes confusing or strange! Write on your blog about some of your experiences or anything you find strange or surprising.
